L.A. Times Anti-Hunting Bias Comes Shining Through
May 1, 2009
What really angers me and what media outlets like the L.A. Times are allowed to get away with is beginning an article with a statement that is a complete distortion of facts. They absolutely know exactly what they are doing.
The article’s title is : “Obama agrees with Bush, opens hunting season on the gray wolf” but the opening sentence is this: “Next Monday, hunters in Montana and Idaho and elsewhere in the Rockies will be free to shoot at the gray wolf.” This is a either a deliberate attempt to mislead readers from the facts or a reflection of ignorance and poor journalism.
First of all, the statement is not factual. Hunters in Montana and Idaho or “elsewhere” in the Rockies are not “free to shoot” wolves. Wolves in Montana and Idaho have been designated as game animals through their federally approved wolf management plans. That means hunters can hunt them only if the states decide to offer a hunting season, which must comply with the approved plans. This would involve quotas on the number of wolves that can be killed among other strict rules.
“Elsewhere” in the Rockies, whatever that means, there are no plans to open any territory up so hunters will be “free to shoot at the gray wolf”. Portions of far Eastern Washington and Oregon and a tiny piece of Utah are included in the delisting areas but none of those states plan hunts and will continue to protect the gray wolf.
Wyoming will not be included in the delisting process because the federal government, after once approving Wyoming’s wolf plan, later rejected it.
This kind of reporting is nonsense and needs to be stopped. L.A. Times does its readers a terrible disservice and they need to get their facts strait and then report the truth.

No Igor that is incorrect, United States Government which is owned by the European World Banking Organization under the management of the Rothschild’s Dynasty and their Wall Street which created the Russian government via the Bolshevick Revolution as funds for that revolution were funneled to Trotsky via Wall street and London, makes both countries media say what they want even though it is always a lie..The Jesuit rules your Russia Igor, as he rules my America via deception, infiltration, and dictation…All under the direction of the Luciferian Superior General and most high Shriner Free Masoner commander residing at the Vatican, the White Popes boss, other wise called the black Pope. You should know the most bloody Jesuit in WWII history Wlodimir Ledochowski – Twenty-sixth Superior General of the Society of Jesus 1915-1942, this beast, this Black Pope, the Rat, The mastermind and Military Commander of the Twentieth Century International Vengeance, called the Second Thirty years war, waged from 1914-1945, including the Mexican War, World War I, The Bolshevik Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, Stalins Purges of the Thirties, The Japanese Invasion of China and WWII, ending in the Horrific and Unprecedented Protestant Orthodox and Jewish Civilian Holocausts within Europe and Asia. The Jesuit General, through his International Intelligence Communities in Control of his Allied and Axis Armies, would recapture the nations having boldly expelled the Company (his order) from their Dominions during the Order’s Century of Disaster, the latter half of the Nineteenth Century..for Inquisitions and genocide via subterfuge and infiltration, as then now the devious Vatican and this Jesuit order are fomenting this war in the Middle East and will eventually foment Civil war in America which is being done now via division… and foment WWIII….This Bastard Son of Satan has fooled the World into believing it does not exist…This Order of the Jesuits…In Noah Websters 1828 dictionary the definition of a Jesuit is a very devious cretin…This is who owns the lying media in Russia and America…
Tom, thanks for the report. I agree it is misleading and does nothing to clarify the situation or help find any resolution to the problem. The ones who will legally be able to kill wolves, until a season is set, will be Wildlife Services and ranchers who catch the wolves in the act.
The Roman Catholic Church tries through the years, through the centuries across the globe wherever it has influence to take over the souls of men, to take authority over their souls, to take authority over nations, governments, even the world and to exercise that authority.
Their authority has never been limited to the Bible, you have to understand that. For the most part, Catholics will affirm their faith and confidence in the Bible and say it is the Word of God but their authority though it includes the Bible does not end at the Bible, and they have authoritative interpretations of the Bible given by the church which sit in judgment on a proper understanding of the Bible.
Their authority goes beyond the Bible and is contained in what they have called historically the magisterium. This accumulated data that has arisen from popes and bulls and councils and creeds and articles of faith and excathedra pronouncements, etc., and it all comes together is known as the body of tradition or the magisterium. It is based on apostolic succession which means that every pope is a successor to the Apostles’ office and is equal in ranking with Peter and so when the Pope speaks excathedra, that is out of his chair or out of his throne, he has papal infallibility and thus he speaks revelation.
Somehow that apostolic succession, that revelatory miracle still goes on through church councils and through articles of faith and special pronouncements. And all of this is collected in the magisterium and is extrabiblical data and it is binding and authoritative and it is commanded as if it were the very Word of God.
That’s where you get doctrines like purgatory that are not in the Bible, it’s in the traditions that say that when people die they go into a waiting place where they’re mildly tortured and hopefully they can do enough things while they’re there to get out or somebody alive can light enough candles to get them out.
That’s where you get things like the perpetual virginity of Mary, that she was a virgin constantly, that she never bore any children even though the Bible says she did. And the virgin birth of Mary, not only the virgin birth of Jesus Christ comes out of the magisterium, the tradition, that’s where you get the idea of the co?redemptrix work of Mary, that she’s a co?redemptrix with Jesus Christ, redeeming the world from sin. That comes out of the tradition.
That’s where you get the veneration and the worship of angels, the veneration and worship of saints, the intercessory work of saints, praying to them to plead with God, praying to Mary to plead with God to take away your sin. All of that, none of it found in the Bible, is found in the magisterium or the tradition and is equally authoritative to the Bible because the church says it is and the church has that authority.
The Roman Catholic Church then in its own eyes is the final authority and has every right to command people to do things that are not in the Scripture, to believe things that are not in the Scripture because they are the authority. In fact, the Bible can be overridden by the church, to put it simply, the Word is under the church.
The Eastern Orthodox Church which is known as the Russian Orthodox Church, the Eastern Church, the Armenian Orthodox Church, any of those branches of the orthodox church, and there are others, also claim the same authority. They claim that the church authority extends beyond the Bible. Most particularly they said seven infallible ecumenical councils occurred, the first one in Nicaea in 325, the last one in Nicaea again in 787 and out of those seven infallible councils come the tradition and the tradition is equally binding. They would agree then with Rome that the church can speak infallibly not only from the Scripture but from its own pronouncements and its own traditions and its own articles of faith. In fact, they if anything sit in judgment on the Bible.
True Christianity has always said the Word is not under the church, the church is under the Word. And there is no authority past the pages of Scripture. God is the final authority and God has revealed the commands of His authority through divine revelation by the prophets and the Apostles who wrote the Bible and now declares that that is what is to be preached authoritatively. That’s why Paul says to Timothy, 2 Timothy 4:2, very simple sentence, “Preach the Word.” There isn’t anything else that is authoritative. The ultimate authority is God. All binding spiritual commands come from Him through the Scripture alone, not through popes and councils and fathers and creeds and articles and traditions. That was the very error of Israel. Jesus said, “You have substituted the tradition of men for the commandments of God.”
So, the only authoritative word from God is the Bible. And that is what we preach. And when we preach it, we command.
No word outside the Bible is authoritative in the realm of the soul.
